Influencer’s Husband Allegedly Placed $25 Bet Around Time of Their Son's Drowning

New details have surfaced about the tragic death of Emilie Kiser’s 3-year-old son.

The influencer’s son, Trigg, drowned in the family’s backyard pool on May 12 and died six days after he was hospitalized.

However, a newly released report from the Chandler Police Department reveals that Brady Kiser, Emilie’s husband, was home with Trigg and their newborn son Theodore while Emilie was out with friends.

While Brady claims he lost sight of Trigg for only three to five minutes while caring for Theodore, the report claims that police video evidence showed Trigg “was in the backyard unsupervised for more than 9 minutes, and in the water for about 7 of those minutes,” per People.

The report also alleges Brady was watching an NBA playoff game and placed a $25 bet around the time Trigg drowned.

"Brady's statements do not match what is seen on the video; he did not accurately describe one thing [Trigg] did after he went outside. This leads to the conclusion that Brady was not aware of what [Trigg] was doing and was not watching him. The combination of these factors led to drowning, and a remedy to any of the contributing circumstances could have prevented the outcome," the CPD wrote in the report.

Following the report’s release, Emilie successfully moved to have two pages of the report sealed by the Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County on August 7.

The pages reportedly explain why the CPD recommended that Brady be charged with a class 4 felony of child abuse. However, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office announced on July 25 that there was “no likelihood of conviction” against Brady.

Matthew Kelley, a lawyer representing the Arizona Republic, explained that Emilie’s legal team sought to redact the pages because the details could be used to create “disturbing” content, such as AI-generated reenactments, if made public.

"The section of the report Ms. Kiser seeks to redact contains information and context that is critical to provide the public a reasonably full understanding of the investigation of the drowning, the police department's decision to recommend criminal charges and the county attorney's decision not to pursue criminal charges," Kelley said, per AZ Central.

Emilie’s efforts to keep details about her son’s death private also appear to stem from her social media presence.

On May 27, she filed a lawsuit in Arizona Superior Court to block public access to records about Trigg’s death, citing that the City of Chandler and Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office had received over 100 requests for these records.

The court ruled in Emilie’s favor on June 3, keeping her personal declaration private during the ongoing review of evidence.

A source told People that Emilie’s declaration “reflects an intensely personal account of her grief and trauma, submitted to help the court understand her perspective — not for public consumption.”

The source added, “The core legal issues remain fully transparent through public filings by counsel and the court. Emilie’s sealed declaration does not hinder the public’s understanding of the case or its legal significance. Preserving a small measure of privacy in the midst of public scrutiny is a reasonable and compassionate choice given the circumstances."
